Lean into the Future

by Bob Burroughs

Quote

"Planning is bringing the future--into the present--so you

can do something about it--now."  (Alan Larkin)

Scripture

This is God's Word on the subject: "I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” Jeremiah 29:9-11 (The Message Bible)

Prayer

Great God of all things beautiful, all things glorious, all things lovely, and all things good--and bad, I bless You today for Your grace and mercy on us, around us, in us, and through us. We do not deserve it, but are thankful for it. I bless You for the men and women who serve their Calling faithfully with their gifts, love, professionalism and witness. I bless You for the power of planning—and how it relates to a job well done, which in turn, glorifies You, the Giver of gifts, skills and workmanship. You alone are the One whom we love. You alone are the One who gave us The Call. You alone. You alone. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, who planned ahead and worked Your plan.  Amen.
